Evan Engram Expected to Miss Fourth Straight Game with Hamstring Injury

By eDraft Fantasy Football on Sunday, October 6th 2024

Evan Engram Injury Update

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram is not expected to play in Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Initially listed as *questionable* with a hamstring injury, Engram has been sidelined since Week 2, missing multiple games due to the issue. Despite participating in limited practices, the Jaguars seem set to hold Engram out once again to avoid aggravating the injury.

Brenton Strange has taken over the starting role in Engram’s absence. While Strange showed some promise early on, recording 96 yards and a touchdown over 14 targets, his involvement in the offense has decreased over the past two games. With Engram sidelined, Strange could still see some action, but fantasy managers should proceed with caution given his recent dip in target share.

Fantasy Impact: Can You Count on Brenton Strange?

Strange remains a temporary option for fantasy managers, but his diminishing role over the last couple of weeks makes him a riskier choice. With Engram not expected to play, Strange will likely get more snaps, but the Jaguars' passing game has not consistently funneled targets his way. Fantasy players in deeper leagues might take a chance on him, but it’s essential to have more reliable alternatives lined up.

Final Thoughts on Engram

Evan Engram's ongoing absence leaves the Jaguars without one of their key playmakers. Brenton Strange has filled the role, but his fantasy appeal is limited. Keep an eye on injury updates leading up to game time, but for now, it seems that Engram will miss another game as he recovers from his hamstring injury.
